everyone here plants rye in winter.  It is something that if you leave
the horses on it too long when they arent used to it they will get
diahreah or could colic.  They have to build up.  but aybe your hores
are used to rich grasses.  Our horses here think coastal bermuda is
nice and rich and then when we have alfalfa or peanut hay they have to
take it easy at first.  Clover hay too.
